Enjoying Music or Videos with the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E—Continued

While listening to or watching an input source, you can 
display information regarding the type of source and sig-
nal being input. 

Program format*

* When the input signal is digital audio

The program format is displayed. For example, the dis-
play “Dolby D: 3/2.1” shows that the format is Dolby 
Digital with 5.1 discrete channels consisting of three 
front channels (front left, front right, and center), two 
surround channels (surround left and surround right), 
and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.
When the front channel number is 2, they are the front 
left and front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When 
the surround channel number is 1, it is monaural; when 
it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE num-
ber is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no 
program format for the input signal, nothing will be dis-
played.

The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the 
display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM 
and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

Dialog norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of 
Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has 
been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see 
a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dia-
log Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue 
Normalization serves to let you know if the source 
material has been recorded at a higher or lower level 
than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dialog 
Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall 
output level constant just turn down the volume control 
by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you 
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than 

usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment 
of the volume control is necessary.

The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E accepts analog, digital 
and multichannel signals for audio input. You can 
choose which kind of signal to be played for a specific 
device.

Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the 
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E automatically detects whether 
the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal 
is not input, then the analog signal is played. This setting 
only appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital 
Input setting at Setup Menu 

→ Input Setup Menu → 

Digital Setup Sub-menu (See pages 36-37). 
Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back 
the input from the component connected to the MULTI 
CH INPUT port. This setting only appears if “Yes” is 
selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu 

→ 

Input Setup Menu 

→ Multichannel Setup Sub-menu 

(See pages 37-38).
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a 
source component connected to analog audio input 
jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input 
from the same component, only the analog signal will be 
output.

You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup 
Menu 

→ Audio Adjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu 

(See page 54). The treble level affects the front left and 
right speakers and the center speaker. The bass level 
affects the front left and right speakers, the center 
speaker, and the subwoofer. For multichannel sources, 
these dials will not work if the tone control is set to 
“Direct” or “Pure Audio.”
